Heart rate sensor

hello There, i bought the  xperia Z1because off its ipx features and to use it as a heartrate monitor during sports. as I used to do with my samsung galaxy S2. however the bluetooth heartrate sensor doesn't function on the xperia Z1.
does anyone know if it is a common problem withe the software or is it a hardware problem.
( by the way, it is a heartrate sensor from ZEPHYR)

Make sure that your sport/fitness application supports ANT+. For instance sport/fitness apps like Endomondo, SportyPal, iMapMyRun, Google Mytracks and so on supports ANT+.

  • Probably a stupid question on heart rate sensor

    Can i use the Nike (or better the Polar Wearlink) heart rate sensor together with the Nike+ shoe sensor ? Can the ipod peering with two bluetooth sender ?
    Please do'nt hit me, about that stupid question ..

    According to the Polar web site it is only compatible with the 5th generation iPod:

  • Bluetooth keeps disconnecting with heart rate sensor

    Hi,
    I recently bought one of the Bluetooth LE Heart Rate Sensor. It is a brand called "MEDISANA" that you can get in Germans market Lidl.
    I tried to pair it in several sports applications like Endomondo, Adidas Micoach etc and they all fails. In Endomondo sensor is keep connecting and disconnecting....
    I've also tried to pair same sensor on my mate Z2 running KitKat 4.4.4 but end up with same results.
    Yesterday I loaded official Lollipop 5.0.2 to my Z3C but nothing change to my surprise....
    The funny thing is that same Heart Rate Sensors works fine on my wife cheep Nokia Lumia 520 and also on one of my colleagues android 4.4.2 (dont remember the brand).
    So it looks like the issue is only related to Sony's mobile.
    Does anyone has faced same kind of issues with BTLE sensors?

    Sorry but why is every little thing that goes wrong or isn't supported due to compatibility always Sony's fault - It's never the manufacturer or developers fault - Like i said contact the manufacturer and if they say it's compatible then ask for a statement saying so.

  • Watch keep failing heart rate detection

    Does anyone has problem with the heart rate monitor?
    I have normal skin color (light, no tattoos) and the heart rate monitor can't find my pulse. The last correct one it detected was 24 hours ago. It's been failing for more than 10 times in a row and still can't get my heart rate. I had the watch for 3 days.

    Howdy huynh van du,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Congratulations on your new Apple Watch purchase!
    From what I gather, the heart rate sensor isn’t able to measure your heart rate.
    The article linked below provides a lot of great information about how the Apple Watch measures your heart rate and it also has troubleshooting tips that’ll resolve most issues related to getting that measurement.

  • Apple Watch and High Heart rates

    The Watch's heart rate sensor is generally receiving positive reviews. However, I haven't seen anyone test it at high heart rates which is a common fall down area of most optical sensors.
    Now that the Watch is out there, I was wondering if any of you have worked out at say 150 - 180bpm and how the watch's on board sensor responded?

    Hi
    Thanks for sharing your experiences everyone, keep them coming. I still have until May/June for my watch so it'd be nice to get a good idea. It's going to arrive after my next pay day so I was trying to gauge if I need a chest HRM. I'm not an athlete or anything but I'm about half way through losing a fair amount of weight so I need a fairly accurate reading.
    I've seen the consumer reports report but that wasn't in depth enough for me.
    I've seen that one of the things it can have trouble with is interval training but I think that's more of a software issue - if I understand it right, Apple have made it so that the watch takes a note of your heart rate every 5 seconds or so. I also imagine the watch's fitness app will be tweaked now it's out in the real world.
    As I said, keep the answers coming!

  • Whats the best heart rate transmitter for ipod nano 7th gen?

    Whats the best heart rate transmitter for ipod nano 7th gen:
    Polar WearLink+ Transmitter Nike+
    Polar H7 heart rate sensor
    Wahoo Fitness Blue HR
    Adidas miCoach heart rate monitor

    Calibrate your ipod by charging fully, then using it until it drains then charging it again. And resetting might help too.

  • Phone sensors have quit working.  Including accelerameter, gyroscope, and heart rate monitor.

    For no apparent reason my samsung fitness app quit working, as did the heart rate monitor sensor.  then afterwards the gyroscope quit working and the pedometer.  I have tried everything including a hard reset with no return of use.  Please help

    Go to all apps and force stop the fitness app, > clear both cache and data. > shut down and uninstall. Do a soft reset only and then reinstall the app and set up.

  • Heart Rate Monitor compatibility

    is the Polar Monitor: http://www.polar.fi/us-en/products/accessories/PolarWearLink_transmitterNike
    compatible with any nike+ configuration? I'm using a second generation nano with the nike plus dongle and sensor.

    The Polar Wearlink+ Nike+ heart monitor is only compatible with the 5th generation iPod nano.
    If you want to track heart rate on an iPhone or iPod touch, there is a company that developed a dongle that ( like the popular Nike+system ) creates a wireless bridge.
    Digifit uses a different technology called ANT+ and it is interoperable with > 80 sensors currently being sold by big brands like Garmin, Adidas, Spinning® and other leaders in the industry.

  • How can I download heart rate data to plot it?

    After setting things up appropriately, the heart rate readings from the sensors in my Watch are correctly appearing within the Health App on my iPhone.
    I can even see all of the every-10-minutes readings, in a list.
    I need to be able to extract that data (time and heart rate) from the App so I can plot it in a spreadsheet, to show to my cardiologist.
    I haven't been able to figure out how to do that.

    To the best of my knowledge, it's all or nothing.

  • Unable to use Garmin Heart Rate Monitor (ANT+) with iOS 8.

    I have a new iPhone 6. On my previous iPhone 5 with iOS 7 I used Digifit to track my exercise and monitor my heart rate with a Garmin Heart Rate monitor and never had any problem with it. I use an ANT+ 30-pin transceiver attached with Apple's 30-pin to lightning connector to connect to the Garmin Heart Rate Monitor. Since getting my new iPhone 6, when I try to start an exercise program in Digifit it hangs while trying to connect the the sensors. I handed down my old iPhone 5 to my daughter and tried it with her's, which is now updated to iOS 8, with the same results. Therefore I believe it must be a problem with iOS 8.
    Anyone else have similar issues?
    I wonder if it is related to the HealthKit bug?
    Solutions?
    Thanks!

    As I've never seen an ANT adapter for a lightning connector, I can't imagine why "apple" would give you that advice. Sounds as if the person you were talking to might not be an athlete? I've heard that people have managed to kind of make the old Wahoo key work with the adapter that Apple sells for using older 30-pin accessories with the newer phones with lightning connectors. It sounds like a mess and a disaster waiting to happen to me. I'm also not sure why you should not use BT. I've found it works fine.
    You might want to take a look at Wahoo's RFLKT+:

    It's not the total answer to your issue but it might help.
    Also, see the link I posted above to DC Rainmaker's site. You'll find lots of great information on training gadgets there.
    Best of luck.

  • Nike+, Polar and Nano 6th Gen - Heart rate zone?

    Can someone tell me if the heart rate zone feature will provide audible alerts when I reach my target heartrate?  Additionally does it tell you if you go above or below the range?  If not, is there a known way of doing with with a Nano or IPhone?
    I'd like to ideally know I am maintaining my ideal heartrate while running, and I'm hoping this feature does this for me.  I'm trying to find out before I spend the money on the special Polar heartrate strap.
    *Also, I notice you need the Nike+ receiver in the Nano, but supposedly not the sensor.  Will I still collect all my workout data in addition to the heartrate info with the sensor on the sneaker? (I know the 6th gen Nano has the built in accelerometer, I just wasn't sure if using the receiver makes the Nano think it needs the sensor too)
    Thanks!!

    I had the same problem. Nothing but a complete reset fixed it. After that, no problems.
    Take the battery out of the HR monitor for a 30 sec or so to reset it. Then do a wipe and reset of your Nano - back it up, reset to factory defaults, then re-sync. The HR montor shoul dbe discoverabel. Also, make sure your Nano firmware is up to date.

  • Heart Rate Monitor Recommendations for iPhone 4S and/or iPod 3G?

    I've recently started using the Nike+ app and sensor for tracking my walking/treadmill activity.  Unfortunately, it does not work on an elliptical machine, but it's still a lot of fun and I'm doing something good for myself in the process. 
    The next step is to track my heart rate during exercises, which requires a heart rate monitor (strap) that communicates back to an iPhone app.  I think I've exhausted the possibilities of getting any heart rate monitor to communicate back to the Nike+ app, unless I'm willing to purchase a brand new Nano and cut my music catalog down by a tenth, so that isn't happening.  So I'm looking at a heart rate monitor that will communicate with a widely used, reliable and/or low cost iPhone 4S app, preferably one that can work at the same time as the Nike+ app that is stock, resident and free on the iPhone and which I use and will continue to use while walking with the Nike+ sensor that gets attached to my shoelaces.
    The next step is the heart rate monitor itself (strap).  Lots and lots of choices out there but all roads lead toward Wahoo Fitness and their combination ANT+ plug into the base of the iPhone, and the heart rate monitor strap.  Looks like I can get them both on Amazon for about $60, which is a lot cheaper than I saw elsewhere.  Very expensive line of products.  And lots of "hopefullys" - hopefully, it won't drain my battery down on moderate to long walks; hopefully, I can run their app and the Nike+ app at the same time without interfering with one another (they do have a stride sensor but that's just more money that I've already spent on the Nike+ sensor which works fine); and hopefully, the stock strap will fit a 52" - 54" chest (I'm a big guy, they offer no data, they have no contact number, I'd have a drop them a support email and just wait for a response, company reputation for customer service is not good).
    So am I looking at the best choice for my needs, or has anyone else recently purchased a similar system for measuring heart rate, stride and/or any other critical components of their exercise routine?  I am up for suggestions and not making any purchases so fast.
    Last but not least, my current Nike+ app and sensor also work with my old iPod 3G running iOS5, I'm hoping that whatever I wind up with will work on that setup as well.
    Thank you.

    Thank you very much for the response.  I actually purchased and have already returned a Polar heart rate monitor strap and a Nike+ Sportsband.  I could not even get them to work, and the strap was very small on me (I've got a 54" chest).  All roads lead towards Wahoo, but customer support is ABYSMAL.  You basically have to email them a question and wait for a response back, they have no chat or phone.  Ridiculous.  Anyway, my questions to them are pretty basic, maybe you can answer:
    1.) The strap that you recommend works only with the 4S, which is fine, but I also have an iPod 3G that I'd like to use as well.  Some of their other straps are compatible with both.
    2.) There's no measurement on the Polar strap that I just returned, so I have no way of comparing the fit on one or more of these Wahoo straps versus the Polar one.  I know that I just need a big one (XXL or better).  How is the fit on the one that you have?
    3.) The whole reason why I initially went the Polar/Nike+ route was to go with the least complicated setup to get real time data on stride, distance, calories, etc. PLUS heart rate.  All on pretty much two screens (iPhone and Sportband), and with the idea that I could still multitask during a workout (i.e. check email, send a text, toggle between any open apps, etc.).  All of my research so far indicates that a Wahoo setup is going to have problems with this.  First, the rumor is that no app using a Wahoo heart monitor strap is going to allow you to exit that app and still take active readings (again, this would not have been a problem with the Sportband, but I couldn't get it to work).  Then even if that works, I don't know if the chosen Wahoo app will be able to measure heart rate while Nike+ and a shoe sensor are still measuring stride, distance, etc. (i.e. will they interfere with one another?  Will I be forced to purchase the Wahoo stride sensor too, and then it gets back to which apps work with the stride sensor, will they allow multitasking, etc.?)
    It would be SO much easier for me if these Wahoo folks had a PHONE and could answer my questions.  To make purchases, try things out, return them, etc. that's crazy.  Waiting a day or two for presales questions in this day and age is unacceptable, but that's where I'm at.  I'd appreciate your continued input on this.
    Btw, there is a third option beyond Polar/Nike+ and Wahoo, and that's Garmin, but the app reviews were horrible.  Wahoo was the cheapest overall, I just need to know that it's going to work and serve my needs before making the purchase.
    Thanks.

  • Flow rate sensor?

    Hello,
    Does NI have any flow rate sensor to measure blood flow rate? Also, Do I need NI DAQ to receive data from sensor to display on Labview?
    Thanks,
    Vahid

    Vahid,
    Exactly what are you trying to measure?  In your original post you mention blood flow rate and in a later post your refer to clip on sensors.  The only clip on sensors I have heard of related to blood are for pulse oximetry. That does not actually measure blood flow rate. It gives an indication that blood is flowing and the pulse or heart rate can be derived from it. It is also possible to get a reasonably good approximation to oxygen or coabon dioxide saturation in the capillary blood from the optical spectral content.
    I suppose it is possible to get an estimate of blood flow by ultrasound measurements where both the cross-sectional area of an artery could be measured and doppler flow measurements could get velocity.  I am not sure a single transducer is capble of both types of measurements and I suspect that the calculations involved to get good estimates of blood flow are quite complicated.
    A true flow measurement by turbine flowmeter or positive displacement type sensors requires invasive procedures to install the sensor and special materials engineering to avoid clots.

  • Need to get the heart rate in run keeper without bying expense additional hardware

    Hi,
    I am using runkeeper to track my activities.
    Till now, there is no compatible bluetooth device that can work directly with the iPhone in order to get the heart rate, this is very dispapointing.
    Any project in progress on this point?

  • Pairing my headphones and heart rate monitor at the same time

    I want to know if I will be able to use my Jaybird Bluetooth headset and my Runtastic heart rate monitor at the same time?

    It shouldn't be a problem. I do it with various BT headsets and a Wahoo HR monitor. You can have multiple BT devices connected to an iPhone at the same time as long as they aren't the same type of device (two speakers, two HR monitors).
